The Belgian based company provides AI powered voice or text based bots for exhibitions. The bots help organisers save resources and time on communication whilst improving customer service with instant information. Visitors will find it easier to find things on the showfloor, as well as what’s happening at various times of the day, or even when and where to connect for trains and planes. www.eventumbot.com Ever considered a quiet space at your show? It might be a good idea for both stressed out staff as well as visitors wanting to catch a break. Meditainment is a simple to use website that offers guided meditation with stories, music and sounds of nature. The guided meditations and visualizations are created to be engaging and inclusive so that meditation and its amazing benefits can easily be enjoyed by groups of people. Set it up in a small room in the venue. It’s a talking point. www. meditainment.com How often do visitors loose things? From mobile phones to items of clothing and bags, there is always a problem with lost property. Qik Objects is the intelligent lost and found department. Qik Objects lets object finders connect with the owners and facilitate the return of the items. The platform is accessible through a responsive web app and via their Qikobot. The service is access free. Qik collects a small transaction fee whenever there is a match in the database and an item is returned. Interactive features add to the festivalisation trend. TagSpray provides large screen live digital graffiti, for public participation at events and exhibitions, turning mobiles into virtual spray cans. TagSpray supports multiple simultaneous users on one screen, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re an accomplished graffiti artist, or you just want to create a simple flower, stick man or your very own tag signature. Everyone can get involved. When they are done tagging, it’s easy to share the whole screen on social media, including a sponsors message. Be the first to use TagSpray and create a buzz around your exhibition or stand. www.tagspray. com Add to your outdoor show festivalisation strategy with a unique photo opportunity. Spelfie or the space selfie in partnership with AIRBUS, brings intergalactic fun to outdoor shows. The downloadable app from the App Store or Google Play gives attendees the ability to capture their memories - and the event itself - from space, using state of the art satellite technology. It is a unique souvenir that is experiential and most importantly shareable. www. spelfie.com February — 61
